Pot, meet kettle…Village idiot?? Please, you trough feeding scoundrel!

I know your hubby loves it when he sends you off to the movies, so he can have some peace and quiet and be free of your non-stop nagging…..

You are not a taxpayer, you are a tax eater, nothing more
Donk, you destroyed NTHEOC, ease up a bit or he will stop commenting!

Some cities have done more than cut salaries. They have eliminated the jobs of several employees–20+ years of service, for some, now nothing more than a piece of paper!

Rex, it now costs $1400 for the tuition for ONE class at CalStateLA. When I took accounting classes at CSULA during the 90’s the tuition was about $300 for one 4-unit class. Read this letter from Mark Yudof about the need for pension reform at UC. (His position was recently filled by Janet Napolitano).

Is UC really $4500 a QUARTER????? OMG, tell me that is a typo!

When I went to Cal State it was $150 a semester when I started, and community colleges were free.

Investment people knew all about those scam mortgages that they pushed too. I am fully aware about the tuition costs of going to college in CA. I have a grandson graduating from UCLA in June–his baby boomer parents have sacrificed a lot for him.

Actually pigs can fly with a little CGI. (See the you-tube docu “Life After Pi” if you want to learn about a group of workers under some real financial pressures). Karen Lewis of the Chicago Teachers’ Union has some strange ideas about the truth, like when she says that pensions are affordable and the city really has the money stashed somewhere.

Those people don’t need convincing. Investment people know that the stock market is not going to grow fast enough to pay all those big pensions. Buffett warned of the pension “tapeworm” and the coming pension battles ahead. And I’m not stressing too much–pensions will be cut like they were in Detroit and Central Falls, RI. CalSTRS’ insolvency will mean BIG cuts to the education sector and not higher taxes. Prop. 13 is still basically untouchable in Calif.

We were discussing public pensions. “Exorbitant” is a subjective opinion.
